I attended the HEB contest and wanted to say....what a difference from Arlington BOA! By the end, I had to remind myself to breath. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you all at BOA-SA. I found your show so much more engaging and exciting this time. And with all due respect to Marcus.....I found Bell's show so much more engaging and exciting. You always hear from the professionals about Marcus' music capabilities....which I completely respect. However, I found their marching show relatively simple and predictable. There needs to be something said for the passion and emotion that sparks a show....and Bell has it, in humble my opinion.

Keller will be at Duncanville but not BOA-SA

.....and how about Keller Central in 11th, barely missing out! All the best to them the rest of the season. The Keller band really appreciated their support during Finals performance!

I know EXACTLY who you're talking about! Unfortunately, it's not surprising.

......you didn't try hard enough, though...

.......but not compared to TX. Really!

Whatever......I moved from Marietta, GA to Keller, TX.....and your reference is only to Cobb Co. The state of Georgia doesn't come close to the calibur of TX marching bands. Next subject......please!

That seems to be the case. The logic behind the analysis provided makes sense.

You're correct, but it was a self-indulgent topic to begin with and should never have been started.

GO MICHIGAN STATE SPARTAN BAND!! ONE OF THE BEST UNIVERSITY BANDS IN THE COUNTRY......BY FAR! Grand Nationals is in for a real treat!

If I cared enough to post something about the Marcus show.......I would!

33

Agreed, but my point was focused on glaring disparities that significantly impacted the overall rankings.....independent of qualifying for finals.

Really?? Check out Keller scores from Marching judges.... 9 & 33.

On a more positive note.....my humble opinion of 5A bands on the rise in the DFW area: -Mansfield -Plano East -Keller I'm sure there are more.....no comments on decline!

There are about 8-9 bands missing from the BOA-Arlington predictions......not sure about BOA-Houston.

Completely agree! So let's move Grand Nat'ls to a 'neutral' location, like St Louis.

I'm prediciting LD Bell. No disrespect to the other phenomenal bands, but I don't see how they can be beat this year.
